Dietz Family Reunion

We spent the weekend of the 4th reuniting with the Dietz family at Gramps and Kimmy Lou's house in San Antonio. My aunt, uncle, two cousins and their families all came to Texas. We had a blast and the kids loved getting to play with cousins they had never even met! We had a busy schedule as you can see!

Day 1: Morning horseback ride...

...followed by a trip to Wimberley, TX for some shopping, dinner, and a rodeo!

Day 2: Bus ride to downtown San Antonio for a private river boat tour, bus tour of historical landmarks...

...followed by a yummy catered dinner, swimming, and a mariachi band by the pool!

Day 3 : Happy 4th of July!! We spent the morning at The Creek, then went home to swim, have dinner and we even got some "fireworks" even though they were banned!!

What a great time! Thanks Gramps and Kimmy for all the planning and hard work! We loved seeing all the Dietz's and plan on not waiting so long to do it again!

Charlie's Birthday Bowl!!

Charlie just can't get enough football and celebrated the big 7 with a flag football game. It was COLD out but the boys didn't care! There were lots of flagrant fouls, laughter, arguments with the ref (David), and of course lots of fun! Pretty much everything yo would expect with a bunch of little boys! Happy 7th birthday Charlie Bain!

 

 

 

Thanksgiving 2010!

We were so thankful to get to spend Thanksgiving with BOTH of my sisters this year. It's hard for us all to get together and when we do, it's always such a good time! Mom made a fabulous turkey day meal and everyone stuffed themselves silly!

Each of us made one of the casseroles - I'm pretty sure mine was the tastiest! :)

We went to College Station to see the lights at Santaland. It was a warm night and the lights were beautiful as always. It was a great way to kick off the holidays!

The kids had a great time together!

And only in Texas, can you still swim in the lake on Thanksgiving - the kids were definitely thankful for that!
